Caring1, Asus' tuf boards on z or other chipsets are not good, but almost all Asus x570 boards have excellent VRMs, while their B450 boards are problematic. Here is a simple & good VRM comparison chart for the vast majority of AM4 boards:
X570 and AM4 Motherboard VRM INFO
Here is a AM4 motherboard VRM list compiled by various people and testing results. Also which ones support BIOS flashing without a CPU. Not all, but most boards that will support the new Zen2 CPU’s are listed here. Just thought some info on this would be relevant, with Zen2 and X570 motherboards...forum.level1techs.com
